Demonology Warlock Netherlight Crucible Recommendations

Netherlight Crucible

The Netherlight Crucible is a new addition in patch 7.3 which allows you to empower your relics with new additional traits. This provides interesting opportunities to turn a mediocre relic into a best in slot relic. Read below to determine how to find the best trait combination on your current, and new relics.

In the crucible, you will find 3 tiers of traits for each relic. The first tier unlocked adds 5 item levels to your weapon for each relic, adding to a total of 15 item levels. The second tier is a choice between a shadow or light power, and the third tier is a choice of three randomly generated artifact traits. You can only choose one trait in each tier, and your choice in tier 2 will remove the choice of one of the tier 3 options. In order to completely unlock the Netherlight Crucible, you will need to get one of your artifact weapons to level 75.

Netherlight Crucible Example

Below is an example of how you would put these ilevel values into practice in the Crucible itself. In this relic's case, since there is a completely useless relic trait in the middle of the third tier, you'll either be choosing the first path, or the fourth path. Simply add up the values in each of the four paths, and you'll find that the fourth path's values add up to a higher total ilevel value, so that's the best case for this relic.

Note: The Values for tier 2 traits below are pre-nerf values, however the concept remains exactly the same. Add up the values of the different traits on each of the four paths, and take the path that gives you the highest ilevel gain.
